India-England set for Bangalore

NEW DELHI, January 31- The International Cricket Council announced on Monday that the India-England World Cup match on February 27 has been switched from Kolkata to Bangalore.
The high-profile game was taken away from Kolkata because of concerns about unfinished renovation work at the historic Eden Gardens stadium.

The ICC said in a statement that Bangalore had been confirmed as the venue.

In a letter to the Indian board, the ICC outlined a schedule of works that need to be carried out at Eden Gardens before the other scheduled fixtures at the ground.

The stadium is due to host South Africa v Ireland on March 15, Ireland v the Netherlands on March 18 and Zimbabwe v Kenya on March 20.

An ICC inspection team will visit Eden Gardens on February 7 to assess progress.
